ScienceLives Interview with Sally Otto
Sarah (Sally) Otto is an evolutionary biologist and professor at the University of British Columbia in Canada. She studies the evolutionary process through mathematical modeling and the use of model organisms like yeast.
Evolution is shaped by changes to the genetic composition of a population in response to interactions with other species and the physical environment. The complexity of this process can lead to outcomes that are impossible to predict without the guidance of mathematics. In addition, Sally's research group uses yeast to track evolutionary change, both to test theoretical predictions and to spur theory on in new directions.
